The Anthurium Clarinervium is the perfect place to start if you're looking to get into growing Anthuriums. Its forgiving nature is not typical of the genus, the Clarinervium, with its sturdy, cardboard-stiff leaves, seems to be able to handle a little more neglect. Despite its hardier nature, incorrect care can lead to imperfections on its leaves, but don’t worry, it will still keep trying to grow its best for you.

This Anthurium produces green-black, heart-shaped leaves, with contrasting silver veins. In the light, these plants shimmer, and can look iridescent. Growing from a thick compact main stem, these plants can grow up to 65cm tall, with their leaves reaching sizes of 25cm.

Native to the tropical forests of Mexico, this Anthurium (like most others in the genus), prefers dappled light, high humidity and regular feeding. Their thicks roots need a loose, chunky mix and to stay lightly moist but never waterlogged. 

A true statement plant, which makes everybody's head turn. The Anthurium Clarinervium belongs in any plant collection. And if you're looking to expand into some more advanced genera, then this is a great plant to begin with.
